The artwork, titled “Hauser & Werth,” is a sculpture created by Eva Hesse, an artist associated with the Post-Minimalism movement. Post-Minimalism is known for expanding on Minimalism’s principles, often incorporating more personal, expressive, and process-oriented elements.
The sculpture features a complex interplay of textures and forms. Comprised of what appears to be delicate and malleable materials, the pieces rest on a flat surface, inviting contemplation and interaction. The subdued color palette and organic shapes evoke a sense of fragility and subtle imperfection, challenging conventional notions of form and composition. The tactile qualities and apparent simplicity belie a deeper exploration of materiality and space, characteristic of Hesse’s innovative approach within the Post-Minimalist genre.
